We're dividing 978886 by 52 
We want to divide 978886 by 52.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 52

Step 2:
The number 52 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 52 away from 97, we end up with 45.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 458 / 52

Moving on to step 3:
The number 52 fits into 458 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 416 from 458 and we're left with 42.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 428 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
52 goes into 428 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 188.0
Subtracting 416 from 428 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 128 / 52

Step 5:
If we divide 128 by 52, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1882.0
Subtract 104 from 128 to get 24.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 246 / 52

Step 6:
52 can be fit into 246 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18824.0
Subtract 208 from 246 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 380 by 52, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18824.7
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 364 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
52 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18824.73
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18824.73
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
52 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18824.7307
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 364 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
52 can be fit into 360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18824.73076
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 12:
52 can be fit into 480 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18824.730769
If we take 468 away from 480, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
52 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18824.7307692
Subtracting 104 from 120 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 52, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18824.73076923
Subtract 156 from 160 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18824.73076923 and a remainder of 4e-09.
